I know the flight is full (LGA-YYZ storms etc).
Just curious as to the logic here.
There is an onload list in DCS.
That has everyone who wants to get into a cabin on the flight that they are not confirmed in.
Maybe that's a SE booked in Y but trying to upgrade to J.
Maybe that's a FA on standby hoping for Y or J.
Harder to tell.
But AC, in their infinite wisdom, decided to make two lists in the app:
1. Upgrade List
This list is everyone trying to get into J or PY on that flight, either standby or actual upgrades
2. Standby list
This list is everyone trying to get into Y on that flight (so standby)
For domestic flights, it's much easier to look at the lists as "J or Y" than "Upgrade or Standby".
